Moringa: Natural Treatment For Diabetes

If you live with diabetes then you know exactly how difficult it is to live with the constant highs and lows. If you’re the parent of a diabetic child, the stress of maintaining your child’s blood sugar to avoid dangerous peaks or lows in blood pressure is huge. Traditional medicine can help with the symptoms and to balance sugar levels in the blood, but there is no known cure.

So it’s little wonder that people are curious about natural remedies, which would alleviate the need for constant injections and expensive insulin shots. There is a growing body of evidence that using moringa diabetes symptoms can be managed and in some cases even reduced, making many in the scientific community to ask: is moringa the natural cure for diabetes?

Below we will describe the nature of the disease and its causes, show how moringa and diabetes could potentially be a great match, and explain how to to take moringa for diabetes.

What is Diabetes?

There are two forms or ‘types’ of diabetes – Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition which has no known direct cause, whereas type 2 is related to lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, and obesity. The effect of both diseases are essentially the same. Recent years have seen a spike in cases of type 2 in the western world, which experts relate to sedentary lifestyles and bad diet.

In non-diabetics, the pancreas produces insulin, a hormone which breaks down glucose in the blood, and manages high blood sugar levels. However, in diabetics the pancreas is unable to produce insulin, meaning that blood sugar must be monitored and insulin administered by injection or other means. If the blood sugar level is allowed to climb too high, the patient can become hyperglycemic, which can in severe cases lead to coma and even death. If too much insulin is given, Hypoglycemia can occur, with low blood sugar levels being equally dangerous to the patient.

That’s why diabetics need to check their bloods after each meal to ensure they balance the levels of glucose to insulin correctly. There are for some patients options to have a ‘pod’ fitted which can do this for them, and in severe cases a false pancreas can be fitted to also calculate and administer insulin. However, these treatments are not available to all, which is why moringa benefits for diabetes are of such great interest to both doctors and sufferers of the disease. There are trials ongoing regarding the use of moringa pills for diabetes as well as moringa seeds for diabetes, but as yet no definitive results have been produced. However, there is great promise, and a huge body of related research to call on, so below we’ll attempt to answer the questions, is moringa good for diabetes, and more importantly, might it actually be a cure for this previously incurable disease?

Can Moringa Cure Diabetes?

Ongoing moringa oleifera diabetes trials suggest that it may have many positive effects both in the treatment and the prevention of type 2 diabetes. There is no evidence yet to suggest it can cure diabetes, but if the results of the first wave of trials are positive there is hope that further trials may provide a more effective treatment for the disease.

Prevention

Looking to the future, probably the most important impact will be how moringa benefits diabetes statistics worldwide. As it has so many positive health benefits, is packed full of essential vitamins and iron, antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, it’s all-round effect on people’s health could be extremely useful in preventing cases of diabetes.

Treatment

One promising area of research around moringa oleifera and diabetes stems from previously found evidence that moringa can naturally balance blood sugar levels in mice. Trials are ongoing into moringa seed and diabetes treatments, and one study involving 30 women reported that taking 7 grams of moringa leaf powder every day for three months helped reduce fasting blood sugar levels 13.5 per cent.

There is anecdotal evidence of patients using moringa tea for diabetes with positive outcomes: however, it is recommended that you consult your doctor first before supplementing your treatment with moringa. It does seem that due to its low concentration using moringa tea diabetes symptoms can be managed most safely. There are also positive results concerning the use of moringa leaves and diabetes patients.

Cure

So, now the biggest question of all: can moringa actually cure diabetes? Well, given its array of wondrous properties, it seems with this miracle tree that anything is possible. But studies into moringa and diabetes cure are in their infancy, and so it’s impossible to say at this stage.

However, it seems most likely that the biggest effect moringa would have would be preventive. But once it’s capacity to manage blood sugar levels is properly understood we will know much more about its use in potential treatments and even cures for this debilitating and deadly disease.

Hi Ricky, several studies show the efficacy of taking moringa leaf to reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics. I will list one of them below for your further reading. I would suggest taking around 10g (2 teaspoons) or moringa leaf, 2 x a day, in the morning and evening, with or without food. This should have a noticeable affect on your blood sugar. Perhaps if you try this, you could let us know the results you get after you get tested, say 1 or 3 months into the program.
